Subject: [Leica]What is the least amount of equipment you can use?

My ideal travel kit:

m6ttl
35mm summicron
50mm summicron
90mm elmarit (sometimes leave behind)
Lutz Konerman sling and hook (www.leicagoodies.com)
All fits in small Lowepro fanny pack

When walking around, camera is either attached to my right hand with 
the sling or hanging at my left side with the hook. Head and left arm 
go through hook strap so camera hangs at my left side without fear of 
slipping off the right shoulder. Conceals nicely under coat and can be 
raised to the eye for a quick picture when necessary while attached to 
strap. For extended periods of photo readiness camera is unhooked from 
strap and remains "glued" to my right hand with the sling. Very 
comfortable and secure feeling while instantly ready to raise to eye 
for a shot. Fannie pack serves as a safe holder while changing lenses 
and allows me to pack everything away when photography is not 
appropriate.
